The
new IBEX Aprisa 4500 is, perhaps, the perfect mid-priced
high performance roadbike. Of the retro Classic model it
replaces, we said, "it evokes a sense of quality,
of style, and of substance to last the ages"...
and the Aprisa 4500 carries on that tradition with a thoroughly
modern approach. The Aprisa 4500 has those qualities that
make it obvious that this bike is also a true "classic"
from the moment it rolls off our assembly line.
From
it's double-butted aluminum frame, to it's carbon fork,
to it's sparkling 27-speed Shimano Tiagra drivetrain, the
Aprisa 4500 offers the features of a high-dollar road bike
at a not-so-high-dollar price. The new Aprisa frame epitomizes
up-to-date styling with it's sloping top-tube and curved
seatstays, as well as confidence inspiring geometry with
a smooth ride that leaves the harshness of early aluminum
frames behind.
For
2007 Shimano's new 4500 series Tiagra group means it just
got even better, freshly redesigned to meet the needs of
even the most discerning cyclists. This new Tiagra group
will absolutely obliterate any doubts about mid-level road
drivetrains. Tiagra means performance, with 27 ratios to
provide the perfect gear selection for most any circumstance...
it means convenience, with STI shifting integrated into
the brake levers... it means technical innovation, including
built-in gear indicators... and it means beauty, with precise
jewel-like finishes and spectacular engineering that have
made Shimano's upper-end road groups famous.
On the road you'll find the 4500 a willing accomplice...
with every stroke of the pedal you'll feel the ease with
which this remarkably agile machine achieves speed... with
every shift you'll marvel at the smoothness of the finely
matched componentry... and with every envious glance from
other riders and passersby you'll glory in the pride of
ownership of this exceptional bike.
